Itinerary
Day 1 - Exquisite scenery toy train journey
Delhi - Shimla. Early morning transfer from our hotel to the Shatabdi Express train to Kalka and then transfer to the Himalayan Queen toy train to Dharampur. On arrival into Dharampur you'll be met and transferred to your hotel in Shimla by road. Rest of the day is at leisure.
Days 2-3 - Independently explore Shimla your way
Free time to explore the city. The ‘summer capital’ of British India sprawls along a crescent-shaped ridge at an altitude of over 2100m in southern Himachal Pradesh. This was the most important hill station in India before independence. The famous main street, The Mall, still runs along the crest of the ridge and is lined with stately English-looking houses. Christ Church, Gorton Castle and the fortress-like former Viceroyal Lodge reinforce the English favour.
Day 4 - Shimla to Delhi
Shimla - Delhi. Morning is at leisure and later we drive to Kalka Railway Station to connect with your train for Delhi. On arrival to Delhi you will be met and taken to your hotel or to the airport in time to connect with your onward fight.
If you'd like to extend your stay, we offer a variety of hotels, short stays and add-ons for you to choose from.
